FSI 1979, lesson 4. Drill structure: instructor asks question, student answers; repeat with substitution. Covers ke (what), ko (who), kaha (where), kati (how much / how many), kun (which). Pay attention to the question intonation — Nepali rises at the end of yes/no questions, falls at the end of wh-questions. Around minute 7 the lesson introduces the question-tag 'ho ki hoina' (is it or isn't it) — common in everyday speech. End of lesson is a free-response drill: try answering aloud before the instructor speaks.
